The coolest Minecraft build I’ve seen in a long while, this Abandoned City map strikes a place somewhere between post-apocalyptic and simply left alone. Comprising many skyscrapers and various other buildings sinking into the earth as they slowly collapse, this build by Viator is available to check out for free onplanetminecraft.
It’s a really cool cityscape, with a diversity of environments that fit it very well to enrich the broader experience. One screenshot highlights a half-flooded atrium of what was perhaps a library, while others show sloped hillsides of golden grass that taper into wide pools around the base of slowly-sinking towers. The map comes complete with a village of NPCs hidden in its heart.
Viator, a Japanese minecraft mapmaker, has been working on the build since early 2022. Their previous works include an abandoned city in adesert, and a similarlyapocalyptic cityin a wetter environment.
Viator recommends a couple mods to use for the looks in their screenshots. First, theOptiFinemod to boost visuals, then theNostalgia Shader v3.0, which can be found via theplanetminecraft link.
Cheers for the find,PCGN.
